On an older unit, you will get a bit of voltage drop through the thermostat, limit switch. sail switch, and maybe connections. Often replacing one of these items will let the unit work, but all of the other items can still be causing the voltage drop.
If you have not done so, I would start by replacing the thermostat.
People often say- "It can't be the thermostat, because the blower comes on."
9 volts is enough to trigger the fan replay, which will start the blower, but it is not enough to "fire" the electronics.
To be certain what the problem is would require bench testing.
